Description of problem: Install Mageia5 beta1 from classical 64 bits CD. (3rd build of 31/10 applies) Both with first build and 3rd build, LO starts but pops up the splashscreen and nothing else. Starting it from terminal: same result, shows it exits clean. I will attach an strace file ( with -f) gathered from such an install and comparing with my current Cauldron I am only missing lib64cuuc.so file from lib64icu-devel-53.1-6.mga5 package. User marja does not have the problem. My install was with all clients, all DE's, no servers, language en_GB, locale nl When I say LO should skip the splashscreen with "--nologo" the office works okay, and gives me a working writer and calc. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): various LO parts, How reproducible: As above under builds 1 and 3 of Beta1 Steps to Reproduce: as shown (either from menu or terminal). Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
Created attachment 5568 [details] strace -f result during first reboot of Beta1 build3 of command $ strace -o lotrace -f libreoffice --writer or similar

Did you keep your /home (so your /home/<user>/.config/libreoffice)? If so, can you try with a new user? (Feel free to call him marja :-þ) I did indeed not see this bug, but have not kept /home, did use the same DVD to install from, but only installed en_GB language with matching locale

LOL, I never call a 'him' marja, and for a 'her' I would prolly choose name of a real life wife or daughter. Thanks for your comments. But no, the Beta1 /home is not equal to any pre-existing directory or mountpoint. Indeed my locale is country nl, timezone UTC, so not all 'en_GB'.
Odd thing is, having installed M5B1 with all desktop environments that are in the DVD disk, after a few LO starts working well as per above, they also stopped working when checking the workability of the next DE's: Resume: LO under KDE: menu fails, terminal fails, but ok with '--nologo' LO under GNOME: menu fails, terminal fails, but ok with '--nologo' xfce4: LO did not start from menu Cinnamon was the next I tried and also failed with '--nologo'. Mate desktop: menu fails, only splashscreen pops by. IceWM: terminal command: ...-nologo draw" exits cleanly, but --draw does not Windowmaker: use the 'run command' tool and enter: ...nologo --writer" and nothing happens.
I installed only KDE, and have no problems whatsoever with LO (country BE, language en_US. I only noticed that starting LO (Writer in my case) the very first time after installation, causes the LO splash to appear twice. This might have to do with setting up the libreoffice folder in ~/.config?

To prove (I believe) that there is nothing wrong with ~/.config/libreoffice/ I did the following: I am now working on the same notebook with current Cauldron booted up and the M5Beta1 test install in /mnt/beta. So I renamed my current constant user's ~/.config/libreoffice/ and moved the same libreoffice directory from /mnt/beta/home/dvg to ~/.config Now when I as dvg startup LO it works fine: writer, calc, draw. Each several times, no problem seen. Splashscreens seen every time.
Summary: In B1 LO fails to start for me with splashscreen, avoiding it works => In B1 LO fails to start for me with splashscreen, avoiding it works a little longer
I may have forgotten to mention it before, but the install without the problem I checked was KDE-only I'll try to reproduce the issue with an all-DEs install (after creating it)
(In reply to Marja van Waes from comment #7) > > I'll try to reproduce the issue with an all-DEs install (after creating it) Still don't manage to reproduce the issue. Is there any chance it is hardware related? Both laptops I tried on have an "Intel 810 and later" video card, though different ones.
to #c8 marja: no because LO does start up in current Cauldron in other partition on same hardware
It was fixed in next build: closing.
